Do you have any good "Poverty Guns" that you would recommend? I picked up a Canik TP9V2 a few days ago and can't say enough about it. I was looking for something to lock up in my workshop. I wanted a full-sized handgun in 9mm with at least 15rd capacity. I came across the TP9V2 used at a pawn shop. It was obviously unfired but someone had color-filled the slide and painted the grip "panels" white. I took it home, scrubbed all of that shit off of it with Goof Off and took it out back to the range.
It felt good in my hand, had a really cool striker-fired DA/SA trigger setup just like my old P99 from back in the day and had am 18rd capacity. I usually prefer hammer=fired but this was the best of both worlds. I put 3 mags through it this afternoon and was extremely happy with the ergonomics of the gun and my ability to pop the steel plates easily. I have a target ball that I toss out in the woods and can make that thing dance around easily with this gun. It was 100% reliable. It is a bit top-heavy but I am used to my HK's so it felt right at home. I still have a little white paint to get off of it but all-in-all it's a keeper and will serve it's purpose.
I say $275 well-spent.
